Alyssa x Allen

Alyssa was trying to hail a cab during Manhattan rush hour while carrying approximately one thousand Ralph Lauren shopping bags, when he walked by with the most adorable puppy. This isn’t a scene from a rom-com—it’s the story of how Alyssa and Allen first met. Alyssa, a concept designer for Ralph Lauren, dropped everything to pet Allen’s dog, and after chatting, they realized their offices were right across the street from one another. They began dating soon after. The French countryside has been a source of endless artistic inspiration for Alyssa. While mood-boarding for work, she saved an image of a French home and told her wedding planner that she had her sights set on getting married there. Muriel relayed the unfortunate news that the house was in the middle of a sale and wouldn’t be available as a venue. Six months into the wedding planning process, though, they discovered that the house was in the process of becoming a boutique hotel and wedding venue called the Domaine de Chalamon.

"Think of vintage Elie Saab and Marchesa fashion shows meet a midsummer night‘s dream."

Alyssa approached curating her wedding looks like she would approach a work assignment. She built out a creative deck that featured every aspect of the wedding and proceeded from there. Two of Alyssas bridesmaids are also designers, so the three sought out dresses and gowns that were similar to a Rodarte look Florence Pugh once wore. Together they scoured consignment shops and antique fairs until they found one for each bridesmaid. Think of vintage Elie Saab and Marchesa fashion shows meet a midsummer night‘s dream.

FROM canada

Laura x Todd

"Finding the right photo/film duo was a top priority for us. We knew these relics would allow us to relive our day and become the fragments we would pass on for generations to come. Planning an international wedding can be a wild ride, yet knowing we had a professional, organized team gave us the confidence to relax and be present. When we found Flora & Grace, we felt relief and excitement. Their imagery is authentic and timeless, artistic and inspiring. Jasmin and Tim were a breeze to work with, before, during, and after our Venice affair. And, now we have these incredible, emotion-filled mementos to love on for the rest of our lives."

"Their imagery is authentic and timeless, artistic and inspiring!"

FROM the USA

Alisha x Tyler

"There will never be enough words in any language to express our gratitude to Jasmin and Tim at Flora&Grace. Every image tells a story and takes you right back to that day. When we saw our photos and videos for the first time we couldn’t even speak right away. They are an absolute dream."

"There will never be enough words in any language to express our gratitude."

FROM NEW YORK

Erin x David

"Your film brought us to tears! We have watched it again, and again, and again. It is so incredibly wonderful. We love the mix of color and black & white imagery, the music choices are perfect, and you brilliantly captured the subtleties and emotions of the day. Thank you so much for adventuring across the world to be a part of our wedding, for your hard work, and for creating a film that we can revisit for the rest of our lives to relive this beautiful day. We appreciate you both."

FROM NEW YORK

Hallie x Jason

"You have created art "en passant", which in our perception on the day, we hardly noticed - and if then only as very pleasant. You have far exceeded our expectations and given us a wonderful gallery of memories to last a lifetime."

FROM germany

Sasha x Matthias

"On a wedding day, multiple things can be stressful, but with Jasmin, photography was not one of them. She talked with us a lot before and understood what we wanted out of it and what we're comfortable with. She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural. She was smiling, laughing and open to all our needs. We trusted her art and she trusted our story. Once we saw the final pictures, we actually got to relive our entire day which was priceless. Everything was captured with the same energy it happened, from the location, to getting ready, to the first look, the ceremony, the guests, the hugs, the tears and the smiles."

"She was light as a feather the whole time and everything felt very natural."

FROM CALIFORNIA

Anna x Samer

"Jasmin & Tim, you guys were super amazing and accommodating, made us feel at ease and beautiful. I'm so glad we had the chance to see Positano together and share these moments. We just wanted to express our gratitude. Thank you guys so much!

With Love,
Lisa & Russell"
